Joran van der Sloot, the man long suspected of killing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, has pleaded guilty almost two decades after Holloway disappeared in Aruba, according to a court filing. Van der Sloot pleaded guilty to extortion and wire fraud charges during Wednesday's hearing. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison alongside his ongoing 28-year prison sentence in Peru for the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores.
“Joran van der Sloot is no longer the suspect in my daughter's murder,” Holloway's mother Beth Holloway told reporters outside the federal courthouse in Birmingham, Alabama, per CBS News. "He is the killer."
